Think again. In this episode, I'm chatting with Paige McNeil, a social media whizz who specialises in helping accommodation businesses crack TikTok marketing. We're talking about why you can't afford to write off this platform – especially when guests in their 30s and 40s are actively using it to find their next getaway. Paige shares the truth about what actually works on TikTok (spoiler: forget the polished perfection), why authentic content beats professional shots every time, and how to turn those viral views into actual bookings through your email list and website. I'll admit, I was sceptical about TikTok. But with over 1,000 new email subscribers in six weeks and actual bookings coming through? I'm a convert.
